Is Majordomo Y2K (Year 2000) compliant?

0

The current release of Majordomo has no known year 2000 issues. Older versions had problems only if you used the “archive” program to maintain list archives, since it used only a 2-digit year. If you use the new 4-digit year flags to archive you should not have any year 2000 problems. That being said, as you can see by reading the Majordomo source, except for the “archive” program majordomo doesn’t directly deal with dates so it’s extremely unlikely there are any year 2000 issues. Even places where it does use dates (archive) it doesn’t do any date comparisons, which is the crux of all non-cosmetic year 2000 bugs. At worst “archive” would overwrite your 100-year-old mailing list archives. I really really doubt Majordomo will still be used for 100 years.
